Chapter 468 How to Improve Your Approval Rate
To the north of Thunderstone City, there is a blue land. This land is wrapped in invisible barriers. From the outside, you can only see a gray fog.
But the world is contained in the fog, and exquisite and gorgeous Shengyuan buildings stand on the blue soil in an orderly manner.
Between buildings, there are straight and spacious jade avenues, with abundant and full lightning gushing in the stone slabs. Anyone who steps on the stone slabs will receive the blessing of the power of thunder and runs like flying on the road.
This is the famous Magic Academy in Leishi City, and it is also the best Magic Academy within a radius of thousands of miles.
This magic academy has a history of nearly two thousand years - a long history than the Qin Empire, from which they were born, with double-digit magic masters and countless magic masters.
Now, this magic academy with a glorious history is opening its doors to a group of outsiders.
Dean Wan Junzhu stood on the rostrum of the College Square and delivered a welcome speech in an unnatural voice.
"Dear students, let's welcome several distinguished guests from the Great Qin Empire to visit with warm applause!"
The voice of the Demon Master instantly spread throughout every corner of the academy.
But naturally, there were few responders. Young students, senior teachers, and ordinary people working in the college were all looking at the group beside Wan Junzhu with indifferent eyes.
Lu Bieli, Bai Xiao, Qing Yue, Lan Lan...
Anyone has become famous in the Holy Yuan Empire, and even won many supporters not long ago.
But at this moment, all the supporters seemed to have disappeared overnight, and the only thing that greeted the Qin people was speechless boycott.
For Lu Bieli, this cold encounter is very similar to an inspiration, because as early as 1800 years ago, after his ancestor Lu Hao led the people of the Western Continent to complete independence, he also crossed the Sea of Hope to the Shengyuan Empire, hoping to establish diplomatic relations with the empire normally. At that time, Lu Hao was welcomed with such indifference.
Lu Bieli, who has always regarded himself as a descendant of the overlord, finally enjoyed the treatment of the overlord.
In fact, this is certainly not the norm. If it were normal, even if the Holy Yuan people did have a portal bias, it would not be so obvious.
After all, the Holy Yuan Empire is the origin of human demon civilization and a beacon for civilization progress. The pride in the hearts of the Holy Yuan people made them accustomed to despising any threat from outsiders and completely disregarding anyone as their opponents - after all, the only miserable defeat was also 1,800 years ago.
Conversely, moderate expression of friendship is undoubtedly a reflection of civilization and a game where many Saint Yuan people enjoy it.
However, after a series of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the outer skin of civilization has been completely destroyed.
——
During the three days before the college’s welcome ceremony, there were chaos in Leishi City.
Following the Thunder Fire Burning City and the assassination of Ning Xianze, several terrorist attacks occurred in Leishi City one after another.
The scale of the attack was not large, and the actual damage caused was minimal: most of the attacks were directly eliminated in the bud, and only talked about the success of terrorists several times - for example, an old blacksmith who was not very handsome detonated, detonated a whole box of unstable ore on the commercial intersection of Thunderstone City, blew up a restaurant, and killed and injured more than 10 people on the spot.
For cities with a population of millions, the number of natural deaths per day is dozens of times that of this, and even the number of unnatural deaths is not a small number. However, the panic effect brought by terrorist attacks is exponentially enlarged in the current Thunderstone City, almost penetrates into everyone's heart.
No matter how hard Ning Xianze, the guardian of Leistone City, or how cold-hearted the Lord of Leistone City Ding Wanli, a short and fat middle-aged man with a always meager presence, promised generously, people's responses are always cold.
Even the envoys who rushed from the capital parliament failed to turn people's hearts around.
Because just as Lord Messenger walked up to the Watch Square of Thunderstone City in a colorful splendor and was about to give a speech, an assassin appeared beside him.
A musician with a little reputation in Thunderstone City stabbed the messenger in a crazy manner with a dagger in his hand.
Although the artist, who was powerless, was blown into coke by the messenger's body-protecting magic tool on the spot, and did not cause any casualties - except for the assailant himself, a comforting speech carefully prepared by Lei Shicheng was immediately hit by a blow.
Even the messenger's speech became powerless - he seemed to be worried about a more powerful assassination at any time. He was not only absent-minded when speaking, but also looked around frequently. Even at the climax of the speech, because the audience was making noise below, the messenger simply interrupted the speech and supported a metal shield wall in front of him...
This posture was so ugly that Ning Xianze, Ding Wanli and others were also stunned, only shocked by the imagination of the envoy of the capital.
What exactly are you here for?! Is there anyone who sooths people as much as you?
The next moment, the envoy's feat was unsurprisingly aroused a full-scale panic. Ning Xianze and others worked hard to win over the crowds in the square and scattered. During this period, they screamed and whined continuously, and countless casualties caused by crowding and trampling were caused.
It can be said that before this, all the actions of many terrorists sacrificed their lives and death were not as destructive as the messenger's resolute shield in public.
The parliamentary envoy left for granted such a tragedy, but intentionally or unintentionally left a sentence before he left.
"Oh, I've said a long time ago not to let these Qin people come..."
To evaluate this sentence from an objective perspective, it is appropriate to describe it in four words: the barking of a defeated dog.
He came with a mission of soothing people, but caused a major panic incident to leave in a mess. When he left, he still had to blame the Qin people. This envoy was like a famous golden retriever who had possessed him in history, and was extremely shameless.
However, it is undeniable that rogues who can leave their names in history are often big winners - the so-called cycle of good deeds and rewards will never be fulfilled in these people. Just as the Golden Retriever's Blame King in history has continually defeated his competitors and stood firm in the throne. The envoys from the capital parliament also escaped unscathed and left a mess for Leishi City.
His words almost instantly ignited the public opinion of Leishi City, turning negative emotions such as panic and depression into simple hatred for the Qin people.
For ordinary people, this is also the most cost-effective way to vent their emotions. Compared to chasing the real murderer and rebuilding their homes... it is obviously much simpler and faster to find an foreign enemy to vent their hatred.
Why did the peaceful and peaceful Leishi City suddenly suffer such natural disasters and man-made disasters?
Why do innocent people in Thunderstone suffer?
Did the people from Leishi City do something wrong?
Is it wrong to work and enter the sunrise for farmers? Is it wrong to craftsmen’s meticulous craftsmanship? Is it wrong to study hard?
If the people in Thunderstone City are innocent, what is wrong?
The answer is self-evident.
So when Wan Junzhu held a welcome ceremony at her college, the atmosphere naturally reached an extremely awkward situation.
Looking at the indifference and even hatred off the court, Wan Junzhu also had a headache.
The dean is a typical academic dean, with a pitiful administrative ability and never knows any human mind. The reason why he stayed away from the core magic circle of the empire and came to Leishi City also means to be quiet.
So Wan Junzhu didn't know how to reverse the prejudice that was connected into pieces. In fact, he, as an academic dean, could not protect himself. Because he had close contact with the Qin people and his attitude was not "dignified" enough, many teachers and students of the college simply hated the conscientious dean.
Wan Junzhu stood on the stage, forcing herself to keep up with her spirits, and read the speech he had prepared for staying up late, but the more she read, the less she sounded, and in the end she simply omitted the flowery mandarin clichés, and did things hastily, and pushed the welcome ceremony to the next stage.
"Then, next, I would like to ask the representative of Qin, the Grandmaster of Demonic Dao, the Lord of Hongshan City, and Mr. Lu Bieli to give a speech."
As soon as these words came out, a boiling sign suddenly appeared in the originally silent Academy Square.
I don’t know who started the first one, but there was a faint voice in the crowd: “Go back!”
The more the sounds spread, the more complicated they spread, and in the end they simply do not cover them up.
The college mentors who were supposed to be responsible for maintaining order were indifferent to this.
Wan Junzhu covered her face with her hands, her mind was in chaos, and she had the idea of giving up on herself.
Do you guys really know who they are provoking? Lu Bieli was famously unruly before he became a master. Oh no, because with Yuan Shi, the pearl and jade in front of him, Lu Bieli's sharpness was so powerful that many Saint Yuan people did not understand Lu Bieli's temperament at all.
If he is so provoked in person, he will not only not be angry, but will instead be even more proud! Because this is the "ancestor treatment" he wants the most!
But Lu Bieli, who was twice as proud, was even more terrifying than Lu Bieli who was angry!
Wan Junzhu can even clearly depict the scene of Lu Bieli laughing wildly and killing indiscriminately!
Let it go, it's all over!
However, at this moment, someone saw him stepping a step before and walked to the focus of everyone's eyes.
It's Bai Xiao.
Wan Junzhu couldn't help but be stunned. Why is it him? What does he want to do?
After a brief contact with Bai Xiao, Wan Junzhu had a pretty good impression of this tribal boy. Although there were many rumors about him, most of them were seriously incorrect. In Wan Junzhu's opinion, Bai Xiao was just a taciturn and strong boy and did not like to cause trouble.
And just as Wan Junzhu's confused gaze, Bai Xiao said a few words in the face of the surging feelings.
"I feel extremely regretful about the suffering that Thunderstone City has suffered during this period."
As expected, this sentence immediately made Bai Xiao a target of public criticism.
"Get out of here, you're so damn dog!"
"Sorry your whole family!"
"Cat cries rats, are you shameless?"
Once the young and energetic students get angry, they really have a spirit of ignorance, as if they have forgotten that Bai Xiao even has the life of Master Shengyuan in his hands.
However, Bai Xiao soon said the second sentence.
Chapter completed!
